Abstract:
The stability of finite amplitude roll waves that may develop at a liquid free surface in inclined open channels of arbitrary cross-section is studied. In the framework of shallow water theory with turbulent friction the modulation equations for wave series are derived and a nonlinear stability criterion is obtained. To cite this article: A.
